At the start of January, notices in Dee, North West, Severn and Solway Tweed were sent.

Notices for the Anglian, South East, South West and Thames regions will be issued from January 23, followed by Humber and Northumbria from February 20.

The list used for the mailshot is drawn from information held by the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) database of those claiming under the Basic Payment or Rural Development schemes.

However, these contact details will not all be up to date, for example in instances where farmers are registered with RPA via their agents and notices are sent to the agent’s address.

Defra is asking membership organisations like NPA to advise members to contact the Environment Agency if you think the land you own or occupy is in an NVZ but you haven’t received a notice within a few days of the date of issue for your River Basin District.
